Review Districts Available for Possible Late Add Placements* for a list of districts that may allow students to arrange their own DT placement directly with the school site. This does not guarantee that the school has availability or will approve the placement. *The list is subject to change as district placement requirements change.

Contact your Placement Coordinator at fieldplacement@wgu.edu to receive further instructions prior to contacting a school site.

It is essential to follow established processes as failure to follow district communication policies can damage the relationship between WGU and the district, and may result in a disposition concern. It is also important to recognize that by not following district policies your relationship with the district can be damaged.

Additionally, some districts do not accept late entry students and some districts do not allow students to arrange their own placement, regardless of an established relationship or not.

If your preferred district requires that WGU set up the placement, your best option is to apply for a different cohort during the next open application window. This gives the Field Placement Team the opportunity to request a placement for you through the formal placement process.

Placements are not guaranteed.

Work with your program mentor to determine if an appeal is warranted according to the instructions in this Student Handbook Article.

After you have contacted your placement coordinator and received approval to proceed with your selected schools, your placement coordinator will send additional instructions to finalize your placement. Once you receive this information, you may begin contacting specific schools approved by your placement coordinator regarding a placement.
